Answer
Hi,Lance

There is a GM bulliten that was issued for this complaint,it usually happened after a trans repair or replacement a few things can cause this problem but ill outline what the GM document says,it is up to you whether to attempt this yourself or have the dealer do it for you,ill give you the Doc number so you can present it to the dealership so they can refer to it,the GM doc number is 1351952.
What may be happening is that the throttle position sensor was not relearned and causing the downshift and delayed shift to 4th,i can give you the procedure but let me know what you are going to do first,whether returning to dealer to have this done or attempting it yourself.let me know,Thanks
